SAT SATURDAY 31 AUGUST 2013 SAT SAT 00:00 Midnight News b038z847 (Listen) SAT The latest national and international news from BBC Radio 4. SAT Followed by Weather. SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b0395rgg (Listen) SAT Nilsson: The Life of a Singer-Songwriter, Episode 5 SAT SAT Paul McCartney and John Lennon described him as the Beatles' SAT "favorite group," and yet no figure in popular music is as SAT much of a paradox as Harry Nilsson. A major celebrity at a SAT time when stadium rock was in its infancy and huge concerts SAT and festivals were becoming the norm, Nilsson's instrument SAT was the studio, his stage the dubbing booth, his greatest SAT technical triumphs were masterful examples of studio craft, SAT and he studiously avoided live performance. SAT SAT He was a gifted composer of songs for a wide variety of SAT performers, having created vivid flights of imagination for SAT the Ronettes, the Yardbirds and the Monkees, yet Nilsson's SAT own biggest hits were almost all written, ironically, by SAT other composers and lyricists. He won two Grammies, had two SAT top ten singles, and numerous album successes. Once SAT described by his producer Richard Perry as "the finest white SAT male singer on the planet," near the end of his life, his SAT career was marked by voice-damaging substance abuse. SAT SAT Kerry Shale reads extracts from this first ever full-length SAT biography of Nilsson, in which author Alyn Shipton traces SAT Nilsson's life from his Brooklyn childhood to his Los SAT Angeles adolescence, and charts his gradual move into the SAT spotlight as a talented songwriter. With interviews from SAT Nilsson's friends, family and associates, and material drawn SAT from an unfinished draft autobiography Nilsson was writing SAT prior to his death, Shipton probes beneath the enigma and SAT the paradox to discover the real Harry Nilsson, and reveals SAT one of the most creative talents in 20th century popular SAT music.

A pitchfork pinned him to the SAT ground and horrible wounds had been inflicted on person. But SAT seemingly Walton had no enemies and there appeared to be no SAT motive. Who could be the murderer and why? SAT SAT Various suspects came into the frame: a boot maker, a Nazi, SAT a "swarthy" Italian prisoner of War, and a local farmer . SAT SAT None of the motives seem credible: a stolen watch, a small SAT amount of money, or could it have been because of SAT witchcraft? SAT SAT But why had the farmer deliberately left his finger prints SAT on the murder weapon when he discovered the body in front of SAT witnesses? Why was the Italian POW covered in blood? Why had SAT Walton been murdered with a pitchfork, could it have been a SAT copycat witchcraft murder? Even the famous detective Fabian SAT of Scotland Yard was baffled, so will Steve Punt PI do any SAT better?

SAT SAT For ten years after the Second World War the battered SAT British public had been soothed, culturally, by urbanity and SAT charm. In the mid-fifties it was as if a huge wave - the New SAT Wave - had crashed over a quiet beach; frightening and SAT exhilarating. SAT SAT Paul Allen witnessed this. He was a theatre-struck schoolboy SAT when he read Kenneth Tynan's remark that he "couldn't love SAT anyone who didn't want to see 'Look Back in Anger'". He SAT relished the language and northern working class voices in SAT the novels of Alan Sillitoe such as 'Saturday Night' and SAT 'Sunday Morning' and felt the rage of David Storey's play SAT 'This Sporting Life'. Then came the challenging sexuality of SAT Nell Dunn's 'Up the Junction'. SAT SAT Paul Allen, was a young reporter in the North of England, SAT then a regional critic and a national broadcaster, SAT presenting 'Kaleidoscope', Radio 4's daily arts show, for 20 SAT years. He interviewed and got to know the leading figures of SAT the New Wave - John Osborne ('Look Back in Anger'), Stan SAT Barstow ('A Kind of Loving'), Barry Hines ('Kes'), Margaret SAT Forster ('Georgy Girl') and Alan Sillitoe. SAT SAT Using the BBC's and his own archives Paul explores the SAT artistic and social upheavals of the British New Wave. He SAT reveals how it was not a single movement, but a series of SAT progressions in literature and theatre, and in popular forms SAT beyond these, and went way beyond 'kitchen sink' dramas.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

SUN SUN In the programme Aaron himself discusses his life with SUN candour - from his family background to his motivation for SUN committing criminal offences.

So you SUN would have thought that the UK Citizenship Test, which SUN newcomers to this country must pass to become citizens, SUN would have been right up his street. But the questions in SUN the 2012 and 2013 Home Office guides seem either bizarrely SUN easy - "Where is Welsh most widely spoken?" - or SUN infuriatingly vague - "What happened in the First World SUN War?". SUN SUN So Paul has created his own test, to better reflect the SUN things that aspiring migrants should understand before they SUN can call themselves British. In episode one he deals with SUN the history syllabus, looking at what we know about the most SUN important legal document in our history; the Patron Saints SUN of the Home Nations; provides a guide to our twenty most SUN important cities; and points out a historical error in the SUN official guide. He also tests the studio audience on their SUN knowledge, with those that answer incorrectly being SUN deported. SUN SUN The series intertwines the sort of comedy Paul has become SUN known for on The Now Show, The News Quiz, and Fighting Talk, SUN as well as his own Radio 4 shows The Sinha Test and The SUN Sinha Games, and the command of facts and figures he SUN demonstrates on the ITV quiz show The Chase.

SUN SUN Has the government taken into account the worth of a SUN badger's life in any cost-benefit analysis of the SUN controversial badger cull, which is taking place to tackle SUN the spread of tuberculosis among cattle? Tim Harford SUN considers the problem. And the government aims to kill 70% SUN of badgers in the two cull zones, but Tim discovers that SUN such precision might be tricky. It's terribly difficult to SUN count badgers, you see. SUN SUN Plus, have blundering doctors and nurses really killed SUN 13,000 people? This was widely reported alongside the SUN publication of the Keogh Report into standards of care at 14 SUN NHS hospital trusts in England. Tim Harford finds out how SUN so-called 'excess' deaths are calculated, and whether SUN they're the best measure of hospital standards. SUN SUN The shadow immigration minister Chris Bryant has warned that SUN climate change is going to create 200 million more migrants. SUN But More or Less discovers that migration experts disagree. SUN SUN And, always down with the cool kids, Tim discovers more SUN about this buzz phrase, "big data".

The social SUN enterprise he set up, ColaLife, designed an ingenious SUN package that can slot in between soda bottles, piggybacking SUN on Coca-Cola's supply chain and potentially getting anywhere SUN Coca-Cola does. SUN Called 'Kit Yamoyo' - roughly translated as 'kit of life' in SUN a number of African languages - it includes oral rehydration SUN salts and zinc to treat diarrhoea, plus a bar of soap. The SUN outer shell also functions as a measure and drinking cup for SUN the medicine. The idea caught the attention of the design SUN world and won Cola Life a top prize in the London Design SUN Awards show earlier this year. SUN But Simon Berry was already realising that a clever design SUN was not enough, and that the real lesson from Coca-Cola was SUN devising a 'value chain' - and making sure everyone involved SUN in the distribution gets paid. SUN In this programme (in London and Zambia), he explains to SUN Peter Day how he applied the profit-driven ideas of SUN multinational companies to tackle a disease that kills more SUN African children than HIV, malaria and measles combined.

The SUN director Shane Carruth was already known for an earlier SUN experimental film, Primer, which won the Grand Jury Prize at SUN Sundance back in 2004. SUN SUN Whilst Shane Carruth did NOT go to film school, but learnt SUN his craft by doing, the Director of the National Film and SUN Television School Nik Powell, and film maker Asif Kapadia - SUN director of features including The Warrior and Far North and SUN the documentary Senna - discuss how film schools prepare SUN aspiring film makers for a career in the film industry. SUN Thousands of students go to more than 1200 film schools each SUN year around the world and CILECT, which represents the top SUN 160 schools across 90 countries, has judged the UK's SUN National Film and Television School as the winning school SUN across three award categories; fiction, animation and SUN documentary. SUN SUN This announcement comes just a few days before the BFI names SUN the film schools, universities and independent cinemas that SUN will be partners for its new training schemes for aspiring SUN young filmmakers. So how do film students best learn their SUN craft: and is funding allocated fairly across the diverse SUN film education institutions within the UK? SUN SUN As the Venice film festival opens this week, Times film SUN critic Kate Muir discusses the film which opened the SUN festival - Gravity starring George Cluney and Sandra Bullock SUN - and provides a round up of the best British films being SUN screened. SUN SUN And nearly half a century since Patricia Highsmith's novel, SUN The Talented Mr Ripley, was adapted for the screen by French SUN film maker Rene Clement - called Plein Soleil and starring SUN Alain Delon - Sandra Hebron discusses how the representation SUN of the psychopath has changed over time, referencing Anthony SUN Mingella's 1999 version starring Matt Damon and Jude Law.

MON MON Stephen asks how our spelling became so irregular, and MON whether we can do anything to simplify it - with the help of MON Professor David Crystal who explains how a history of MON attempted language reform has probably made things steadily MON worse. MON MON The programme starts with a mysterious postcard from a MON listener, in an almost unrecognisable form of English MON writing. Stephen eventually gets a translation from his huge MON band of Twitter followers. He also finds out how the MON commercial success of My Fair Lady helped fund a 20th MON Century attempt at reform, and hears from a current member MON of the English Spelling Society about how she would "tidy MON up" English spelling. MON MON What emerges is that there is probably only one set of MON circumstances in which language can be systematically MON reformed. Lexicographer Noah Webster knew that his fellow MON countrymen in the New World would welcome a form of writing MON that distanced them from their British "oppressor" - and his MON dictionary, with its simplified spelling, was an instant MON success.

MON MON Charlie Paton may not be able to turn water into wine but he MON is working on making seawater turn into a cooling system for MON hot and arid countries. The invention could increase crop MON yields in the driest parts of Africa as it uses a natural MON resource to cool greenhouses. As he says, "It's MON counter-intuitive to most people. Anybody who knows anything MON knows you don't have seawater in greenhouses and you don't MON have greenhouses in arid countries. On every level it is the MON opposite of what we do." Yet he believes this system can and MON will work, as he explains to Roger Law. MON MON Roger's second guest helped create some of the most useful MON objects for those with disabilities by recognizing what they MON themselves wanted. Roger Coleman first got involved in a MON friend's kitchen after she developed multiple sclerosis. 'I MON asked her what the most important thing was about the MON design. She said 'I want the neighbours to be jealous!'. It MON was a real light bulb moment for me. That's about being like MON everyone else." MON It set Roger on the path of designing a whole range of MON things that people really wanted, from the big button MON telephone to brightly coloured seating for kids in special MON schools which helped integrate them into the classrooms.

MON MON Episode 1: How the French Revolution shocked progressive MP MON Edmund Burke into defending British traditions and MON privileges - sowing the seeds of British conservatism. MON MON Bourke was no reactionary - he was a supporter of the MON American Revolution of the 1770s. Many of his fellow MON progressives saw in the French Revolution a similar push for MON liberation. MON MON But to their consternation, Burke predicted that the French MON Revolution would descend into bloodshed. MON MON He questioned abstract French ideas of Liberty and instead MON championed British tradition, from the right to own MON property, through the role of the Church, to the stabilizing MON effect of the House of Lords. MON MON Among the radicals aghast at Burke's heresy was a young MON Cumbrian poet and student, William Wordsworth. MON MON But having witnessed the impact of the Terror in Paris for MON himself, he - like other radical champions of the Revolution MON - began to turn away from it. MON MON Finally, with Burke dead but his influence on conservatism MON spreading through nineteenth century Britain, Wordsworth MON hailed the long-dead MP as a genius.

MON MON Barely 100 pages long, The Little Prince is one of the most MON read books in the world. Like the little prince himself, his MON creator Antoine de Saint Exupéry has become an enigma. An MON aristocrat and an aviator, he wrote The Little Prince in MON exile in America, when the world was at war and France was MON under Nazi occupation. Barely two years later he was dead - MON having failed to return from a reconnaissance mission over MON his homeland. His body was never found. MON MON But the fable-like book he left behind continues to MON captivate generations of readers, from the child to the MON adult. Why? MON MON "It is only with one's heart that one can see clearly. What MON is essential is invisible to the eye." Is it a simple MON children's story engaging with simple truths about love, MON experience and loss? A manifesto for humanist values in time MON of strife? Or a manual for living on our fragile planet? MON MON Mike Greenwood journeys to Paris to unravel the origins, MON meaning and enduring appeal of Le Petit Prince. He meets MON Saint-Exupery's nephew, Francois d'Agay, now 87, who MON remembers visits from Uncle Antoine in the 1930s, and Mike MON enters the inner circle of 'Saint-Exupérians' who have made MON it their life's work to interpret the symbols, biographical MON parallels and true message of the book. MON MON The novelist Tracey Chevalier and children's author Michael MON Rosen also share their personal insights into the French MON classic, which is featured in a series of evocative MON readings.

MON MON 20:30 Crossing Continents b038ynyx (Listen) MON Inside Gay Pakistan MON MON Mobeen Azhar investigates life in gay, urban Pakistan. MON Despite Pakistan's religious conservatism and homosexuality MON being a crime, he finds a vibrant gay scene, all aided by MON social media. He meets gay people at underground parties, MON shrines and hotels and finds out what it's really like to be MON gay in Pakistan. As one man tells him, "The best thing about MON being gay in Pakistan is you can easily hook up with guys MON over here. You just need to know the right moves and with a MON click you can get any guy you want." At a gay party he meets MON an NGO worker who then takes him to one of Karachi's prime MON cruising locations - a shrine to a 9th-century Muslim saint. MON Mobeen meets a "masseur", who works on the street MON advertising his services. The masseur's real job is selling MON sexual services to men - with the full knowledge of his MON wife. And with great difficulty, Mobeen speaks to a lesbian MON couple, who conceal their relationship from their own MON parents. One of them argues that it is too soon for gay MON Pakistanis to fight openly for political rights and that MON they must find happiness in the personal sphere. Mobeen MON discovers that while urban Pakistanis may easily be able to MON find sex, being in a relationship is far more difficult. MON Producer: Helena Merriman.

TUE TUE In the industrial north of England in particular, unrest was TUE growing. TUE TUE In this episode, Anne visits the Chelsea home of the great TUE Scottish writer and thinker Thomas Carlyle, to find out how TUE he fought back against the Industrial Revolution and the TUE revolutionary idea it brought in its wake. TUE TUE Carlyle argued that the concept of Utilitarianism, with its TUE New Poor Law and its attack on older forms of charity, was TUE forging a cold new world of atomized individuals. The only TUE things that now connected people, he contended, were cash TUE and disease. TUE TUE In response, he called for strong leadership and a return to TUE medieval Christian values.

TUE TUE 15:30 Costing the Earth b039ctgc (Listen) TUE The Palm Oil Palm Off TUE TUE In June this year a thick haze descended over Singapore, TUE causing record air pollution levels which left streets empty TUE and forcing children, the sick and elderly to stay indoors. TUE It was attributed to the illegal burning of forests in TUE Indonesia to clear land to plant palm oil. It was a visible TUE reminder of a practice which has been continuing for years TUE but, say environmental groups, which must be stopped. TUE TUE Palm oil is in hundreds of products, from detergents and TUE cosmetics to biscuits and now biofuels. But the burning of TUE forests is destroying the habitat of endangered wildlife, TUE destroying woodland and releasing carbon dioxide from the TUE peat. Tom Heap asks if we've turned a blind eye to this TUE issue. Some manufacturers have pledged to source sustainably TUE but he asks how sure they are the oil they get is untainted. TUE TUE Costing the Earth heads to Indonesia to see the level of TUE destruction, find out who's behind it and looks at the TUE impact the haze has had on Singapore.

TUE TUE Harvard professor Michael Ignatieff has kept a watching TUE brief on the work of the ICRC since 1997 when he visited its TUE delegation in Afghanistan. Now he returns, this time to the TUE headquarters in Geneva, to explore the challenges the TUE organisation faces. TUE TUE We hear reports from Medellin in Colombia where the ICRC has TUE started working with victims of narco-violence; we hear the TUE latest from Syria where the ICRC is attempting to support TUE the Arab Red Crescent under desperate conditions; and we TUE find out how the ICRC has negotiated with America over its TUE proven abuses of international humanitarian law during the TUE course of the War on Terror. How can the ICRC preserve TUE confidentiality without becoming complicit in such abuses? TUE We ask whether the principles of neutrality and impartiality TUE come at too great a cost. TUE TUE The question of technology is a looming problem for the TUE International Committee Red Cross.

TUE TUE 21:00 Seven Ages of Science b039ctgy (Listen) TUE Age of the Lab TUE TUE Lisa Jardine explores how scientists became separated from TUE wider society. TUE TUE Until the end of the 18th century, most scientific endeavour TUE took place in private houses or workshops, often done on a TUE part-time basis by passionate enthusiasts. It was the poet TUE Samuel Coleridge who suggested, in 1833, that men who were TUE neither literary men nor philosophers might be called TUE "scientists"; but still there were no public laboratories TUE and certainly no white coats. TUE TUE The idea that people could be trained in laboratories was TUE pioneered in Germany and it was decades before Britain TUE caught on. TUE TUE In 1858, an expensive project to lay a telegraph cable under TUE the Atlantic, failed; and an inquiry into the failure TUE recommended that Britain needed more men who understood how TUE telegraphy actually worked. Today, the Cavendish Laboratory TUE in Cambridge is famous for a string of Nobel Prize winning TUE discoveries into the nature of the atom and the structure of TUE molecules including, famously, DNA. But it was set up to TUE train more telegraph engineers. TUE TUE As more purpose-built laboratories were established, TUE complete with petri dishes, test tubes, and bunsen burners, TUE scientists started to be perceived as somehow different from TUE the rest of us. Trained in specialist techniques, they TUE followed their own methods and rules. They became a separate TUE tribe.

WED WED From 1938 to 1968, Francis Durbridge's incomparably suave WED amateur detective Paul Temple and his glamorous wife Steve WED solved case after baffling case in one of BBC radio's most WED popular series. Sadly, only half of Temple's adventures WED survive in the archives. WED WED In 2006 BBC Radio 4 brought one of the lost serials back to WED life with Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson as Paul and WED Steve. Using the original scripts and incidental music, and WED recorded using vintage microphones and sound effects, the WED production of Paul Temple and the Sullivan Mystery aimed to WED sound as much as possible like the 1947 original might have WED done if its recording had survived. The serial proved so WED popular that it was soon followed by three more revivals, WED Paul Temple and the Madison Mystery, Paul Temple and Steve, WED and A Case for Paul Temple. WED WED Now, from 1946, it's the turn of Paul Temple and the Gregory WED Affair, in which Paul and Steve go on the trail of the WED mysterious and murderous Mr Gregory. WED WED Episode 9: Millgate Steps WED WED Temple and Sir Graham take to the river in the hunt for the WED missing girl. WED WED Producer Patrick Rayner WED WED Francis Durbridge, the creator of Paul Temple, was born in WED Hull in 1912 and died in 1998.

WED WED 13:45 British Conservatism: The Grand Tour b039ctyw (Listen) WED Anne McElvoy tells the stories of big challenges that have WED spurred leading British conservative thinkers into action, WED from the French Revolution to the Permissive Society. WED WED Episode 3: In the 1840s, industry, commerce and voting WED reform gave new power to the cities and the middle classes. WED But then the feudal aristocracy found an unlikely new WED champion. WED WED Benjamin Disraeli was a dandy Jewish London novelist, who WED dressed in peacock waistcoats. WED WED But along with a clutch of youthful aristocrats, he formed a WED group called Young England. WED WED They tried to revive the romantic idea of rural landowners WED looking after the poor, and to translate this to the new WED era. WED WED Disraeli toured the cities of the industrial north, and drew WED on the suffering he saw in novels that venerated the old WED ways. WED WED This was not a huge success. But Disraeli found his great WED cause in the battle over Free Trade. WED WED When Prime Minister Robert Peel decided to abolish the WED tariffs that protected British farmers from foreign corn WED imports, Disraeli spied betrayal. WED WED And so did Lord George Bentinck, a true rural aristocrat and WED a man who was really just interested in horse-racing - until WED the threat of Free Trade spurred him into action. WED WED Together, 'the Jockey and the Jew', as they were dubbed, led WED the charge against Peel, arguing that Free Trade would WED destroy a whole social system. WED WED But they lost - and it was Peel's championing of Free Trade WED which proved the more effective conservative move. WED WED Instead of Disraeli and Bentinck's diehard defence of the WED old ways, Peel's more open approach welcomed the new urban WED middle classes into politics, showing that you didn't have WED to be a landed gentleman to support the Church and the WED Constitution. WED WED With: Professor Jon Lawrence, Professor Richard Aldous, Dr WED Tristram Hunt MP WED Producer: Phil Tinline. WED WED 14:00 The Archers b039ctgp (Listen) WED [Repeat of broadcast at 19:00 on Tuesday] WED WED 14:15 Afternoon Drama b039ctyy (Listen) WED The Watcher on the Wall WED WED To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, the story of WED poet Louis MacNeice's trans-Atlantic love affair with the WED American short story writer Eleanor Clark and the poetry it WED inspired, dramatised from his Letters by playwright Lucy WED Caldwell. WED WED In 1939 Louis MacNeice fell in love. The poet had had a WED tough few years: his world had fallen apart when his adored WED wife eloped with their American lodger, and now, with WED divorce proceedings acrimonious and MacNeice a single parent WED looking after their young son Daniel, the poet plunges WED himself into his travels and his work. WED WED Then, in the spring of 1939, MacNeice met Eleanor Clark, a WED young, beautiful and gifted short-story writer. Their WED intense, passionate, desperate affair - he in England, she WED in New York, the war and the Atlantic Ocean between them - WED consumed the next few years, and the poet's imagination. WED Communicating through letters, their relationship becomes WED for MacNeice one of pursuit rather than possession, but WED nevertheless amid the pressures of parenthood, debts, WED deadlines and the on-going war, it inspires some of WED MacNeice's most famous and passionate poetry, most notably WED "Meeting Point" and "Cradle Song for Eleanor". But can a WED relationship that exists more in the mind than reality ever WED endure, or will its fate simply be that of a passing poetic WED fantasy? WED WED Also a prolific writer/producer of radio drama, the WED Belfast-born poet began working at the BBC in 1941 where he WED produced numerous programmes including the acclaimed drama WED "The Dark Tower." It was while caving in Yorkshire recording WED sound effects for a radio drama that MacNeice contracted the WED pneumonia that lead to his death on 3rd September 1963. WED WED The Letters of Louis MacNeice edited by Jonathan Allison WED were published by Faber & Faber in 2010.

THU THU Directed by Tracey Neale THU THU 11:00 Crossing Continents b039d4bb (Listen) THU Venezuela - Out of Stock THU THU Despite its massive natural oil wealth, Venezuela is a THU country sliding into recession, and has one of the highest THU inflation rates in the world. With prices of some products THU rising as much as 50% or more annually, the crisis presents THU a simple human predicament - how to lay your hands on the THU ever-dwindling supply of price-capped essentials that THU government shops pledge to provide. The trouble is that many THU of these basic goods like milk and toilet rolls, are THU disappearing from the supermarkets within a few minutes of THU getting there. THU Ed Butler explores how gossip and the black market have THU become a part of the answer for many ordinary citizens. He THU follows one consumer's quest for goods across the capital, THU and examines the rumours of smuggling and massive THU corruption, especially in the west near the border with THU Colombia. THU And he hears how the Socialist legacy of the former THU President Hugo Chavez still casts a big shadow over the THU nation. Businesspeople complain that his policies have made THU it almost impossible to produce anything profitably, and THU have left a legacy of massive red tape. The housing sector THU has been hit particularly hard with years of THU under-investment. Ed meets one retired couple unable to THU reclaim a rented apartment in their own property, who now THU are forced to live in their own garage. THU THU 11:30 Designing the Impossible b039d4bd (Listen) THU How would you like to experience a Soyuz rocket launch or a THU volcanic eruption in your living room?

THU THU Then enter the world of Nelly Ben Hayoun, acclaimed designer THU of fantasy experiences, who brings the thrill of cutting THU edge science within the reach of ordinary people. THU THU Nelly is a graduate of the Royal College of Art's THU groundbreaking Design Interactions course - one of a new THU breed of designers who use immersive experiences to THU stimulate debates about what sort of future we want for THU ourselves as the limits of technology and science extend THU ever further. THU THU She plans her experiences like a circus showman, charting THU precisely the emotional trajectory through which she wants THU to lead her audiences. Each project is more ambitious than THU the last, each seemingly impossible at the outset. THU THU For example, how do you share the high drama of the 1969 THU Apollo 11 Moon landing? Nelly's idea was to create an opera THU based on transcripts from the mission control room and have THU it performed by the world's first International Space THU Orchestra - made up of NASA space scientists and lunar THU mission veterans. Astonishingly she pulled it off - the epic THU Ground Control Opera had its first performance in September THU 2012. Since then, she has also managed to arrange for a THU recording of the performance to be broadcast in space. THU THU And Nelly Ben Hayoun's next impossible project?

THU THU 13:45 British Conservatism: The Grand Tour b039d4bl (Listen) THU Anne McElvoy tells the stories of big challenges that have THU spurred leading British conservative thinkers into action, THU from the French Revolution to the Permissive Society. THU THU Episode 4: In 1864, as the British economy boomed, the great THU Victorian critic John Ruskin was invited to Bradford to THU advise the prosperous merchants of the town on the style of THU their new Wool Exchange. THU THU But instead Ruskin lambasted them for ditching traditional THU values of taste and craft. They had become worshippers, he THU told them, of 'the Goddess of Getting-On, or Britannia of THU the Market.' THU THU Anne follows Ruskin to Bradford and discovers how, for this THU child of south London, the north of England came to THU represent both the crass prosperity of the time - and a very THU different vision of life. THU THU Ruskin was deeply influenced by the Romantic poet William THU Wordsworth, who ditched his youthful radicalism for a THU conservatism that embraced the communal memory embodied in THU tradition. THU THU And as Anne discovers, Ruskin moved to Wordsworth's native THU Lake District and set up guilds to foster an alternative to THU the factories and mills. He encouraged a return to small THU communal groups working the land and pursuing traditional THU crafts. THU THU Yet Ruskin described himself as both 'a violent Tory of the THU old school' and 'the reddest of the red'. He had a great THU influence on the emerging socialist movement. THU THU Anne suggests that John Ruskin is an example of how some THU nineteenth century conservatives had a surprising amount in THU common with socialism, because of their shared hostility to THU the costs of capitalism.

But suddenly her husband Max, who has an THU irritatingly round head, loses his heart to beautiful young THU Rosa and moves out. THU THU Cheerful about her unexpected freedom at first, Angela's THU spirits begin to droop as she copes with a mother who won't THU acknowledge the break-up because she considers divorce THU 'common', a misogynous solicitor, and Christmas alone (apart THU from Dexter the family dog and a number of help-line THU counsellors). THU THU She gets regular updates on the wild expenditure and THU goings-on at the love nest via her cleaner, Meena, whose THU sister Leena - also a cleaner - works for Max.

On the 70th anniversary FRI Edward Stourton presents The Italian Freedom Trails, the FRI incredible story of the biggest mass breakout in history. In FRI the recounting of the history of World War II it's often FRI forgotten that Italy surrendered to the Allies and the FRI Italians threw open the doors of their POW camps. For the FRI prisoners in Italy this was a golden opportunity that FRI amazingly they were ordered to ignore. While their Italian FRI guards put down their rifles and in many cases left the FRI prison camps completely, the order from London was for FRI soldiers to wait for Allied troops to arrive so they could FRI quickly be integrated back in to fighting units - any FRI serviceman making a run for it would be regarded as a FRI deserter. The vast majority of men though didn't hesitate FRI and headed for freedom. All of those who obeyed orders were FRI transported to Germany. Edward Stourton joins an FRI Anglo-Italian memorial walk in the Apennines, along the FRI routes taken by escapers, to tell their extraordinary FRI stories and the stories of those who helped them; stories of FRI bravery, endurance, sacrifice and love, as Eric Newby told FRI in his classic "Love and War in the Apennines." The series FRI includes interviews with Wanda Newby, the woman who helped FRI Newby while he was on the run and who eventually married FRI him, with veterans who escaped and with Italian families who FRI helped them. These are moving stories of individuals and of FRI a mass escape which helped changed the course of the war and FRI subsequent history of Italy.

FRI FRI 13:45 British Conservatism: The Grand Tour b039dbjy (Listen) FRI Anne McElvoy tells the stories of big challenges that have FRI spurred leading British conservative thinkers into action, FRI from the French Revolution to the Permissive Society. FRI FRI Episode 5: In 1867, a new Reform Act was passed which gave FRI urban working men the vote. FRI FRI Conservatives of both parties were deeply concerned about FRI what this meant for the future. FRI FRI The leading conservative thinker and future Conservative FRI Prime Minister Lord Salisbury damned the new Act as FRI surrender. He opposed mass democracy, fearing the tyranny of FRI the majority. FRI FRI But in a Sheffield pub, Anne learns how other, less exalted FRI conservatives responded to the threat of urban mass FRI democracy more creatively. FRI FRI They drew on an old Tory tradition, and found the answer in FRI a pint of beer. FRI FRI They adapted the old idea that each class in society should FRI respect the others' pleasures, even if they were very FRI different. FRI FRI In opposition to new licensing laws, they began to champion FRI the working man's right to a quiet pint. FRI FRI Meanwhile, the music halls of the 1860s championed a rough, FRI rumbustious patriotism for the ordinary people - rather than FRI fostering revolution. FRI FRI And a group of 'Tory Democrats' set up the Primrose League - FRI an organization designed to bolster conservatism in ordinary FRI people. FRI FRI It offered a mix of loyalty to Queen and Country, medieval FRI nostalgia, and invitations to picnics and summer balls. FRI FRI At its height, the League amassed a membership of two FRI million, many of them women. FRI FRI All this showed that conservatism and democracy need not be FRI opposites. In the end, even Lord Salisbury was reluctantly FRI reconciled to the new order.

FRI FRI 21:00 British Conservatism: The Grand Tour b039dbkq (Listen) FRI British Conservatism: The Grand Tour - Omnibus, Week 1 FRI Omnibus FRI FRI Anne McElvoy tells the stories of big challenges that have FRI spurred leading British conservative thinkers into action. FRI FRI In this omnibus edition of the first five episodes, Anne FRI traces the story of British conservatism from the French FRI Revolution to the beginnings of mass democracy. FRI FRI In 1790, the Revolution in France shocked progressive MP FRI Edmund Burke into defending British traditions and FRI privileges - sowing the seeds of British conservatism. Burke FRI was no reactionary - he was a supporter of the American FRI Revolution of the 1770s. But in the French Revolution he saw FRI not liberation but bloodshed. He championed British FRI tradition, from the right to own property, through the role FRI of the Church, to the stabilizing effect of the House of FRI Lords. Among the radicals aghast at Burke's heresy was a FRI young Cumbrian poet, William Wordsworth. But having FRI witnessed the impact of the Terror in Paris for himself, FRI Wordsworth began to turn away from it, later becoming a FRI leading conservative voice in early Victorian Britain. FRI FRI By the 1830s and 1840s, the Industrial Revolution had FRI brought vast changes to British life. It delivered FRI innovation and prosperity, but chaos and disconnection too. FRI In the industrial north of England in particular, unrest was FRI growing. To the great Scottish writer and thinker Thomas FRI Carlyle, it seemed as big a threat as the Revolution in FRI France. In Carlyle's Chelsea Anne finds out how he fought FRI back against the Industrial Revolution and the revolutionary FRI idea it brought in its wake. Carlyle argued that the concept FRI of Utilitarianism was forging a cold new world of atomized FRI individuals. In response, he called for strong leadership FRI and a return to medieval Christian values. FRI FRI In the 1840s, industry, commerce and voting reform gave new FRI power to the cities and the middle classes. But then the FRI feudal aristocracy found an unlikely new champion. Benjamin FRI Disraeli, a dandy Jewish London novelist, drew on the ideas FRI of both Edmund Burke and Thomas Carlyle, and toured the FRI cities of the industrial north, drawing on the suffering he FRI saw in his novels. He set out to revive the romantic idea of FRI rural landowners looking after the poor, and adapt it for FRI the new era. Disraeli found his great cause in the battle FRI over Free Trade. When Prime Minister Robert Peel decided to FRI abolish the tariffs that protected British farmers from FRI foreign corn imports, Disraeli united with rural aristocrat FRI Lord George Bentinck to lead the charge against Peel, FRI arguing that Free Trade would destroy a whole social system. FRI But they lost - and it was Peel's championing of Free Trade FRI which proved the more effective conservative move. His more FRI open approach welcomed the new urban middle classes into FRI politics. FRI FRI By 1864, the troubles of the 1840s had been smoothed away by FRI prosperity. The great Victorian critic John Ruskin was FRI invited to Bradford to advise the prosperous merchants of FRI the town on the style of their new Wool Exchange. But FRI instead Ruskin lambasted them for ditching traditional FRI values of taste and craft. They had become worshippers, he FRI told them, of 'the Goddess of Getting-On.' Anne follows FRI Ruskin to Bradford and discovers how, for this child of FRI south London, the north of England came to represent both FRI the crass prosperity of the time - and a very different FRI vision of life. Ruskin was deeply influenced by William FRI Wordsworth. He moved to the poet's native Lake District and FRI set up guilds to foster an alternative to the factories and FRI mills. He encouraged a return to small communal groups FRI working the land and pursuing traditional crafts. Anne FRI suggests that John Ruskin - like Carlyle and Disraeli - is FRI an example of how some strands of nineteenth century FRI conservatism had a surprising amount in common with FRI socialism, because of their shared hostility to the costs of FRI capitalism. FRI FRI By 1867, Disraeli was Prime Minister, and championed a new FRI Reform Act which gave urban working men the vote. FRI Conservatives of both parties were deeply concerned about FRI what this meant for the future. The leading conservative FRI thinker and future Conservative Prime Minister Lord FRI Salisbury damned the new Act as surrender. He opposed mass FRI democracy, fearing the tyranny of the majority. But other FRI conservatives found a way to appeal to the new voters. They FRI adapted an old Tory tradition - that each class in society FRI should respect the others' pleasures. They began to champion FRI the working man's right to a quiet pint. And a group of FRI 'Tory Democrats' set up the Primrose League - an FRI organization designed to bolster conservatism in ordinary FRI people. At its height, the League amassed a membership of FRI two million, many of them women. All this showed that FRI conservatism and democracy need not be opposites. In the FRI end, even Lord Salisbury was reluctantly reconciled to the FRI new order.
